I dont think the engine with fuel injection consumes more fuel then at tick over. It does not draw fuel, fuel is forced into the engine by throttle position and a closed throttle will not send fuel above the tick over amount to the engine.
If you dont think coasting is a safety concern, go somewhere quiet and see what cornering speeds you can achieve coasting and driving around the corner. Worse, is part way round the corner is to coast. You need to be going at speed so you need a big un off area. Try it.
